==Overview== | |||
===Background=== | |||
Orin is the [[Chosen]] of [[Bhaal]] and one of the three masterminds leading the [[Cult of the Absolute]]. As such, she is one of the main antagonists of the game and a key objective in defeating the cult and the enigmatic [[Absolute]]. | |||
Hinted at first though notes, she is properly introduced at the end of Act 2 as one of the conspirators of the cult along with [[Ketheric Thorm]] and [[Enver Gortash]]. Through cunning and murderous devotion, she and her allies have established a solid Bhaalite foothold in the city of [[Baldur's Gate]]. Now, empowered by a netherstone and with cult's plans in motion, she intends to paint the city crimson with blood in a mighty offering to Bhaal. | |||

=== Appearance === | === Appearance === | ||
Orin has pale blue-grey skin with swirling, smoke-like plumes of red undulating across it. Her eyes are dull grey, contoured by dark eyeliner, giving her an intimidating look. Her straw-colored, braided hair falls to the backs of her knees in a fastening reminiscent of a flail. Her armour is bright blood-red, rigid and rough like chitin. She adorns her head with an ornate silver tiara, with a single crimson gem giving her appearance some color. | |||

== Disguises == | |||
Orin's shapeshifting allows her to innocuously follow the player as several different characters in the [[Wyrm's Crossing]] area. Among her disguises are: | |||
* [[Zethino]], the fey Master of Love at the [[Circus of the Last Days]]. | |||
* [[Fist Rowan]], a member of the [[Flaming Fist]] standing near the back of the donation barn. | |||
* [[Lens]], a tiefling journalist. | |||
* [[Gyldro Angleiron]], a blacksmith in the Rivington General. | |||
* A wounded thug of the Stone Lord. | |||
{{SpoilerDurge|Meeting one of Orin's impersonations for the first time earns the [[Inspiration|Inspirational Event]] '''Personal Relations''' ([[Haunted One]] background).}}Once the player triggers two of Orin's transformations from the list above, all other potential disguises will be the actual NPCs henceforth. | |||

She will be surrounded by various Bhaal cultists under the effect of [[Sanctuary]] who will not enter combat on their own. As long as at least one of the cultists are alive, the [[Boon of Bhaal]] will take one action at the end of each turn. The [[Boon of Bhaal]] is represented by a big skull above the Chamber's door. It will be able to give Orin at least 7 stacks of [[Unstoppable]] each round. | She will be surrounded by various Bhaal cultists under the effect of [[Sanctuary]] who will not enter combat on their own.
